I mean, I'm no genius. I was merely an intel officer for the dumb branch of our military service and as soon as it came down to the Secret Service protecting members of congress with no shots fired up to that point, I knew right then it was an inside job

I don't think it was an inside job necessarily.

I think it was a combination of people higher up (who we're going to learn about in the following days) setting up everything to fail, and the law of averages placing a few very sympathetic guards among the skeleton crew that was there.

I'm not sure how you de-nazi the police. Being a police officer is very appealing to those kinds of people, so they're always going to find their way in.

It just keeps bouncing around my brain that only one person was shot and killed. I haven't watched it, but I assume it was just one shooter. I had assumed the standard escalation for people protecting the capitol would have resulted in the officers outside pulling guns when things started to get out of hand, but they just kind of resisted for a while and said gently caress it.

Assuming it's true, the stat about 80% of law enforcement supporting Trump makes it seem like at some point the officers realize they're overwhelmed, but say gently caress it, same team, I'm not going to do permanent damage. Like NFL players tussle in training camp, but no one is taking off their helmet and swinging it at someone on their own team during practice.

I just imagine the shots being fired and all the other officers being like calm down dude, they're on our loving team.

yeah there needs to be a serious purging of law enforcement officials at every level but lmao that will never happen

I guess you could maybe do it at the federal level but at the state and local? good loving luck.

I'd bet money the complicity is a bit deeper as in those higher ups actively scheduled sympathetic actors in addition to setting the rank and file officers to fail, which is what I mean by inside job

See there's video like that, then others of officers moving barricades aside. I don't think there wasn't any struggle, but just one shooting is bizarre to me. It seems like once there are shots fired, the toothpaste is out of the tube.

Also that struggle looks like a claustrophobic nightmare. It did make me laugh when one cop swings a club overhead into the crowd and a woman says, "HEEEY!"

Apparently the woman who got shot was attempting to break into the Speaker’s Lobby, which is right outside the House chambers. I’m guessing it was a “there are congresspeople right through this door so we have to end this now” shot, otherwise they were being handled with kids gloves the whole time.

That makes sense. She pushed her luck going too far too fast before the VIP's were evacuated, and Secret Service had to step in.

I hadn't considered different willingness to pull the trigger for the Capitol Police vs. Secret Service.

Trying to find it, but apparently some press conference from the capital police revealed the shooter was a plainsclothed officer, and that the secret service info was from some rep. who was incorrect.

Either way, it wasn't a uniformed cop, it was one of the dudes in suits who dropped her, pretty much as Freaquency said

I think it's obvious capitol police, at least some of them, assisted the breakin as it occurred. But I don't buy that that assistance was pre-planned; nobody anticipated trump stirring up that crowd, he ad-libbed all that poo poo, including the call to go to the capitol building. The capitol police assumed that the right-wing protests would mill around outside and do nothing. They were surprised when the mob moved on the doors, ambivalent when some of the mob flashed badges, and unwilling to fire on a crowd containing their own, so they retreated.

Which is condemnable on its own, and doesn't require a conspiracy theory that somehow anticipates Trump's improvised call to action and intentionally prepares the capitol building for invasion. They let the people in and backed off from using lethal force in the most part, because they were white, and perceived as political allies, and some of the invaders were forces. Not because somehow hours earlier or the night before, their bosses knew that a push to gain entry was going to happen.
